Health Reform Policy Update
Podesta (video): Tax pot to pay for health care.
Baucus bill will require hospitals to list “standard charges for items and services.” Problem: Standard charges are fiction.
WellPoint study reinforces prior findings: Health reform will push up premiums.
I am not surpirsed that the cost is in excess of $1 Trillion. I cannot imagine that anyone else would be urprised wither.
Podesta’s idea is interesting.
Millions. Billions. Trillions.
Please, nobody tell Obama what comes after a trillion.
You are right about hospital standard charges. This is why calls for transparency are so misguided.
